30 minute Relaxation Massage
NEW clients $50-80

A shorter relaxation massage session focused on one region of the body, such as the head, neck, and shoulders; arms; back; or legs—to allow for unhurried, attentive care. Gentle, flowing touch supports rest, circulation, and nervous system regulation. Grounded and always tailored to your comfort and pressure preferences.
60 minute Relaxation Massage
NEW clients $80-120
RETURNING clients $70-110
A deeply nourishing, full-body massage using gentle, flowing techniques to support rest, circulation, and nervous system regulation. Sessions may be full-body or focused on specific areas, you decide what feels most supportive. Grounded and always tailored to your comfort and pressure preferences.
50 minute Biosomatic Craniosacral Therapy session
NEW clients $60-90
RETURNING clients $50-80
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on practice that works with the craniosacral system (the membranes and fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord). Using subtle, light touch (often no more than the weight of a nickel), CST supports nervous system regulation, eases tension and invites deep rest.
This session is fully clothed and deeply calming. It may help to support folks living with chronic pain, migraines, anxiety, trauma, sleep challenges, and more.
About Bre
Breanna or Bre (she/they) lives and practices on the unceded territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples, also known today as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.
She came to acupuncture not as a calling, but as a lifeline. In her early 20s, Bre entered what would become a long and often isolating stretch of illness — years of being dismissed, misdiagnosed, and trying to survive with complex conditions no one could quite name. Like many, she had to become her own advocate: researching, navigating fragmented care, and trying to piece things together on her own.
In 2009, she was lucky enough to experience community acupuncture at Six Degrees in Toronto, where, for the first time, she felt truly seen. The care offered there was financially and physically accessible, consistent, and rooted in mutual respect — and it changed the course of her life. Acupuncture has supported her ever since, and it’s been a long-held dream to pay that care forward.
Bre is currently offering relaxation massage and craniosacral therapy at Heart & Hands while preparing to write her licensing exams in October. In addition to her Diploma of Acupuncture—which included extensive training in anatomy, physiology, and hands-on techniques, her bodywork education includes relaxation massage training with Krystel Harvey, an experienced massage instructor with over a decade of practice. She also studied Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (Level 1) with Kari Toft and Jamie Lee Mock of Healing Hands Training, both long-time practitioners and educators in trauma-sensitive, nervous system-focused bodywork. Through their guidance, Bre learned a 10-step full-body craniosacral protocol that informs her current practice. Her roots in bodywork go back to 2010, when she studied Swedish massage, and introductory Shiatsu at the Transformational Arts College in Toronto.
Her work is shaped by lived experience with chronic illness and disability, and by a long history of navigating the healthcare system from both sides — as a patient and now as a practitioner-in-training. She’s passionate about reimagining what care can feel like: accessible, collaborative, and rooted in dignity. Being part of a community clinic like Heart & Hands allows her to offer care in a setting that reflects those values. She welcomes people of all backgrounds and bodies, whether you’re managing complex, chronic conditions or seeking support for acute pain or stress.
Outside the clinic, she makes experimental music and engages in community-rooted creative work that helps her stay connected to process, collaboration, and care.
While continuing to grow in her practice, Bre brings presence and sensitivity to each session. As a lifelong student, she is committed to showing up with care, gentle curiosity, and deep respect for each person’s pace and process.
